    I tried to get one at ninnin but I never shop there and forgot my password. Their forgot password system doesn't seem to work so by the time I decided to setup a new account, sold out. Damn!

    Oh crap! Can't believe I missed the order at NY. Hope I can grab one later without too much bending over.

    You just had to go there. Good job.

    Popular products are supposed to be available for people to buy in some regular fashion. Just because that is happening with a few items instead of selling out within seconds of preorder opening probably doesn't mean the line is doing poorly.
  5. Oh nice! Look forward to seeing what comes of it.
  6. All I did with it is store it with my 1/60 Q-Rau and Milia figure. I'll think about putting it together and painting when I open my Arcadia Milia VF-1J.
  7. Nice pickup and deal...I feel like that design is more War Machine than Modular Iron Man though so I passed. Love the War Machine figure it's based on.
  8. haha yeah...I have some cuticle cutters that work better or as good as most specialized model nippers.

    That's pretty scary but I'm fairly sure it's the cleaners and not ghosts in my situation. My 31F supers are shipping together with the 262 parts. Should arrive in a month or so. No rush or worries.
  10. It is! Got it from eBay: https://m.ebay.com/itm/Recast-1-60-Macross-Robotech-Milla-Fallyna-Jenius-VF-1J-Baby-Pod-Resin-Model-Kit/302508593285?_mwBanner=1#vi__app-cvip-panel
  11. Well, that was quick! I just ordered this accessory for M&M last week and it already arrived: Thanks to @Xigfrid for the heads up!

  13. Maybe their blades are getting dull and need to be replaced? Anyways, I wouldn't mind better finish but I can't say the marks bother me. Just something I expect to see on toys where I don't even notice it.
  14. How much extra attention does it take for you to be sure your models don't have any marks? I agree it would be great not to have any marks but would it be feasible for a "mass produced" product to recieve the same kind of attention you give your models without making the price go up even more?

    Thanks! 2 Valks, 1 Sentinel figure and 1 Star Wars Black Series figure...now I'm also wondering if some other strange toy breaks were caused by them. These casualties will be remembered and hopefully help prevent any future ones.

    Man, that sounds terrifying...the thing about my cleaners is they are really good with my kids and the other living creatures in the house. I don't feel right about charging them for the toys but I do wish I can find some way to clarify the importance of them to me and how not to mess them up. My wife has been the one telling them but I need to do it myself next time I actually see them. Other than that, l now have a few spots I will never leave anything at when they are coming again.
  17. Thank goodness. Still annoys me to have to use it but it saves me from feeling I have a $200 wasted toy.

    Thanks for the suggestions! I have a detolf and other display cases but sometimes I like having things out on different shelves and feel like I should be able to enjoy that luxury in my own home. Plus, as mentioned, they've somehow lost parts of toys that were inside glass cases too. I don't know, I guess I'll just make sure certain items are well protected before they come from now on. I'm never home when they are here but I'll ask my wife to reiterate being careful but that doesn't seem to work very well. Yeah, firstworldproblems for sure but man!
  19. Yeah, I think it does. Have to check the box when I get a chance.

    Never had housekeepers before but with two kids (who have never lost or broken any of my toys), we really need the help and they do a really good job (too good sometimes) of cleaning. This isn't in a display case but it's in a very clear and open space where it is obviously not a cheap toy on display. They've been told on multiple occasions not to touch the stuff but they don't seem to get it. No company to call because they are independent and I like the cleaning job they do, just can't understand why they can't understand not to touch/f my stuff up. Even if it was in a display case, I have no idea how but one time they managed to lose a part of one of my figures that was in a display case too. They do a real thourough job of losing stuff too because you would think something on a case, even if bumped would still be in the case but no...nowhere to be found. I don't want to change housekeepers but this is infuriating.
  21. Thanks man...near tears again, lol. I just don't get it.

    It seems to be just this one spot that is cursed by them. I used to have some Godzilla figures posed there and I would always see the figures posed differently, like they were playing with the figures. No harm but I got nervous and moved those. That same spot is where my 1/48 VF-A Low Vis that I have been wanting to get since it came out lasted all of one day after I finally got it...found it with the head laser broken off. For some reason, I thought there was no way anything could happen this time and both me and my wife thought about it and just figured, nah, no way something could happen again. Well, we were wrong. I guess I'm the idiot for leaving anything there after all these times but how hard can it be to just not touch something? And if you must move it, how hard is it to just pick it up, move it and then put it back without damaging and losing parts? Apparently, very difficult.
  23. Sure looks nice! Especially with that head fin intact.
